If the cards fall right..

[Romo 2 Austin]

I wouldn't be against going QB in the 1st round. You seem to have 3 blue chip QB's, and with the season halfway over it doesn't seem like one will lose that status. You have;


Andrew Luck

Landry Jones

Matt Barkley

My opinion is that Landry Jones should go back to OK for his sr year. Reasons are in this article- http://www.rantsports.com/mock-draft...outing-report/


If the cards fall right, I would love to land Matt Barkley. I think he may be the better QB longterm, not Luck. Barkley will need a few years to get into his prime when he gets into the league, but once he does he will be set. As said by this excerpt:

My thoughts on Matt Barkley

Matt Barkley has NFL talent and possibly hall of fame potential, but there are some flaws in his game that are getting masked because the media has loved Matt Barkley since he came out of high school as a prospect. It makes you wonder if Lane Kiffin is paying the media not to say one bad thing about Barkley.

Matt Barkley performs better in the first half than he does in the second half. Matt Barkley needs to work on his ability to respond in the 2nd half and his progressions. If Matt Barkley does this he could jump Andrew Luck and may end up as the first quarterback selected in 2012.

[View Full Quote]Matt Barkley reminds me of Peyton Manning because of his quick release and mechanics. Peyton Manning struggled with making progressions his rookie season. Matt Barkley could struggle his rookie year also because like Manning he needed to improve his progressions coming out of college. Even if Barkley struggles as a rookie this is a player who I believe will have a very productive career in the long run.

What I am saying if the cards are right, if we are sitting there at #14-#17 and Barkley is still on the board come #6, #7 we suck it up and trade our 1st 2nd and next years 2nd to go up and get him.

Other then Luck i'd take Robert Griffin over any QB in this draft

We really do need to start looking for a successor to Romo, i know the cult of Romo will take that as hate but you can't expect him to be around 4-5 years from now. It would be nice to have someone ready to step inn when he retires so we don't have to go trough the likes of Quincy Carter again

Doubt there is a bigger USC fan here than me and I wouldn't be too thrilled about that move. Barkley has all world talent but needs to shore up his fundamentals (throws off back foot, relies on his arm too much) and show he can play 4 solid quarters. He has had some disastrous 4th quarters.

Andrew Luck is the best college QB prospect I have ever seen. I hate saying that, but it's the truth. He is a future Hall of Famer.

If we are dead set on drafting a QB this year I'd hope for Nick Foles if he lasts until the 2nd round. He has Troy Aikman-type accuracy.

I would hate if a U of A player became the Cowboys QB.

We are not going to draft a QB in the first round unless we pick in the top 5. Romo is far from done. We need to draft the replacements for Newman and James. I would love for us to select either Kirkland or Clairbourn. I also wouldn't mind selecting Burfick.

[Manwiththeplan]

FWIW, I think we definately would've taken Andy Dalton, if he lasted a few more picks, so I wouldn't be suprised if we went QB in round 1, even though I wouldn't.

[joseephuss]

First thing, the season is not halfway over. Lots of college football left to play.

No, I would not make that move. There is no reason to take a QB in the 1st round and certainly no reason to trade up and grab one. I think Dallas will take a QB at some point in this next draft. There will be a few available to choose from in every round of this next draft in my opinion. There will be some good prospects outside of the 1st round.

Why do you think Barkley will be better than Luck? I don't see it. I think Barkley can be good, but he isn't worth trading up to get. He isn't going to be that good. And when you are talking about grabbing a guy and then sitting him behind Romo to learn for a few years, there isn't any reason to throw several draft picks away to draft him. You use that many draft picks to grab a QB, then you better play him sooner rather than later.

Other than Andrew Luck, there's not a QB I would want the Cowboys to take in the 1st round of next year's draft.

I would take Russell Wilson from Wisconsin in a heartbeat. Athletic, pocket passer in a pro style offense with an offensive coordinator who's close to Jason Garrett.

Trading three high picks to get the QB doesn't exactly fit my description of the cards falling right.

Sounds more like we're forcing the hand.

I would rarely ever turn down a franchise QB if one fell into our lap.

I agree, the only way I would consider the cards being right is if one of these guys falls to us like Rodgers did to Green Bay.

[silverbear]

I guess I could see the Boys using an early pick on a QB, if they did I'd sure like it if they figured out a way to get Tannehill or Griffin...

Either one would suit me just fine, I think...

[cbow44]

I dont want to spend a #1 pick on a QB. But if Robert Griffen is there would sure have to think long and hard.
